[First embodiment]

A first embodiment of a packaging work machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In this embodiment, the packaging work machine according to the present invention is described as an example of a rice transplanter (100) that performs rice seedling transplanting work in a field (P) (an example of packaging). In addition, the packaging work machine according to the present invention is not limited to a rice transplanter, and may be, for example, a tractor, a combine, a riding-type cultivator, etc.

[Basic configuration of rice transplanter (100)]

First, the basic configuration of the rice transplanter (100) according to the present embodiment will be described (Fig. 1). The rice transplanter (100) is equipped with a driving body (1) and a seedling planting device (2) (an example of a packaging work device). The driving body (1) has a liquid crystal display (11) (an example of a display unit), a display control unit (12), a controller (13) (an example of an operating unit), and a handle unit (14) (an example of a man-made steering operating unit). In addition, in the following description, with respect to a worker seated on the driver's seat of the driving body (1), the front direction of the worker is defined as "front", the back direction of the worker is defined as "rear", the right side of the worker is defined as "right direction", and the left side of the worker is defined as "left direction".

The mother planting device (2) has a mother planting unit (21) and a fertilization unit (22). The mother planting unit (21) and the fertilization unit (22) can be independently controlled to operate or stop. In addition, the mother planting device (2) is configured in a multi-tank planting form (e.g., 8-tank planting), and the number of planting groups can be changed by operating each group clutch (not shown). That is, for example, it is possible to control whether to perform the mother planting work and whether to perform the fertilization work for every two groups.

The controller (13) (Fig. 2) is provided with a setting button (13A) (an example of a display screen setting section), a group of control switches (13B) (an example of multiple operating sections), a group of control switches (13C) (an example of multiple operating sections), and a group of attachment operating switches (13D) (an example of multiple operating sections) on its front panel (13P). The setting button (13A) receives a rotation operation input in the right direction (an example of one direction) and the left direction (an example of the other direction), and also receives a pressing operation input. The group of control switches (13B) includes a button assigned to a function of pushing a seedling loading platform to the end in order to supply seedlings to the seedling loading platform, a button for adjusting the left-right inclination angle of the seedling loading platform (2), and the like. The mother planting operation control switch group (13C) includes a button for switching the automatic planting start function to be effective or ineffective, a button for switching the operation or stop of the rotor (not shown) of the mother planting device (2), and a button for instructing the mother planting device (2) to make a fine adjustment according to the hardness of the surface of the water tap (P), etc. The attachment operation switch group (13D) includes a button for switching the operation or stop of the herbicide spraying device, a button for switching the operation or stop of the insecticide/fungicide spraying device, etc.

These operating tools are classified into a first group (group of control switches for planting unit operations (13C)) with a high frequency of use and visibility for general workers, a second group (group of attachment operating switches (13D)) with a low frequency of use but a high frequency of visibility, and a third group (group of setting buttons (13A) and group of control switches for planting unit devices (13B)) with a high frequency of use but a low frequency of visibility. In addition, among the operating tools of the third group, the frequency of use of the setting button (13A) is higher for general workers than that of the group of control switches for planting unit devices (13B).

The handle part (14) is provided with a steering (14A) (an example of a handle), a steering post (14B) (an example of an axis), a spoke (14C), and an operating lever (14D). The steering (14A) is circular, and the steering post (14B) extends and protrudes from the driving body (1) toward the center of the circular shape. The tip portions of the steering (14A) and the steering post (14B) are connected by a spoke (14C).

The controller (13) and the operating lever (14D) are installed adjacent to the steering post (14B). More specifically, the controller (13) is installed at a position on the left side of the steering post (14B) (an example of one side) and the operating lever (14D) is installed at a position on the right side of the steering post (14B) (an example of the other side) (Fig. 3) in a downward direction along the steering post (14B) from the steering (14A).

When the operating lever (14D) is operated upward, the seedling planting device (2) stops the seedling planting operation and rises away from the water source (P). Conversely, when the operating lever (14D) is operated downward, the seedling planting device (2) descends to contact the water source (P) and starts the seedling planting operation. This function is used before and after the turning operation of the rice transplanter (100) near the ridge. That is, when the rice transplanter (100) approaches the ridge of the water source (P), the operating lever (14D) is operated upward to stop the seedling planting operation, and when it enters the work travel accompanying the seedling planting operation again after the turning, the operating lever (14D) is operated downward to resume the seedling planting operation.

Due to the above arrangement, when the rice transplanter (100) is moving straight, at the position of the steering (14A), a part of the front panel (13P) of the controller (13) is located in the shade of the spoke (14C) when viewed from the operator seated on the driver's seat. Therefore, the operating part arranged in that part is difficult to see. Therefore, the operating part of the third group, which is frequently used but has a low visibility frequency, is arranged in that part. By configuring in this way, it is possible to minimize the disadvantage caused by the operator having difficulty seeing that part.

In addition, among the operating elements of the third group, the setting button (13A) that is more frequently used is arranged on the left side of the front panel (13P), that is, on the distal side from the steering post (14B). At the same time, the control switch group (13B) of the modeling device that is relatively less frequently used is arranged on the right side of the front panel (13P), that is, on the proximal side of the steering post (14B). The proximal side of the steering post (14B) is difficult to operate because there is a risk that the operator's hand and the steering post (14B) may interfere. Therefore, by configuring as described above, the setting button (13A) that is more frequently used can be arranged in a position that is relatively easy to operate.

In addition, due to the above arrangement, the part of the front panel (13P) of the controller (13) located farther away from the driver's seat is difficult to operate because it is far from the operator. However, the part is not difficult to see due to the spoke (14C). Therefore, a second group of operating elements that are less frequently used but have a high frequency of visibility are arranged in the part. By configuring in this way, it is possible to minimize the disadvantage caused by the part being difficult to operate.

In addition, the first group of operating elements with high usage and recognition frequency are arranged in a portion of the front panel (13P) of the controller (13) located near the driver's seat. Since this portion is close to the operator, it is easy to operate, and also does not become difficult to see due to the spokes (14C).

[Configuration of the display screen (D)]

The display control unit (12) displays one display screen selected from among a plurality of display screens (D1 to D6) each of which has a different function assigned to it, on the liquid crystal display (11). The display control unit (12) changes the display screens displayed on the liquid crystal display (11) in a preset order based on a human operation of the setting button (13A) (Fig. 4).

The display screens (D1 to D6) include a common portion (Dc) that is commonly displayed on all display screens (D), and an individual portion (Df) that displays information related to different functions assigned to each display screen (D1 to D6). As the common portion (Dc), a weekly distance (Dc1), a fertilizer amount (Dc2), a time (Dc3), a radio wave situation (Dc4), a fuel gauge (Dc5), and a water temperature gauge (Dc6) are displayed. In addition, when an abnormality occurs in the driving body (1) or the model planting device (2), a caution icon (Dc7) indicating that the abnormality has occurred is displayed in the upper right area of the liquid crystal display (11).

Before any artificial manipulation of the setting button (13A) is performed, the liquid crystal display (11) displays a home display screen (D1). The home display screen (D1) displays information on the planting work by the planting device (2). Specifically, the setting status (Df11) of the main gear lever, the setting status (Df12) of the auxiliary gear lever, the setting status (Df13) of the fertilizer discharge lever, and the setting status (Df14) of the spacing lever are displayed.

When the setting button (13A) is rotated to the right while the home display screen (D1) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11), the display screen (D) changes in the following order: rotor height setting screen (D2), weekly setting screen (D3), headlight stop operation screen (D4), planting start position adjustment screen (D5), automatic straight function setting screen (D6), and home display screen (D1). This display order is preset so that functions with higher importance to general workers are listed in the fastest order from the home display screen (D1).

Conversely, when the setting button (13A) is rotated to the left while the home display screen (D1) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11), the display screen (D) changes in the following order: automatic straight-line function setting screen (D6), planting start position adjustment screen (D5), headlight stop operation screen (D4), weekly setting screen (D3), rotor height setting screen (D2), and home display screen (D1).

In addition, when the setting button (13A) is pressed down while any of the display screens (D1 to D6) is displayed, the screen moves to a screen where detailed settings of the function assigned to the display screen can be made. In this way, the operation of pressing down the setting button (13A) to move to the next display screen is described as “confirmed” in the following description.

When the rotor height setting screen (D2) is confirmed, the upper and lower position (Df21) of the rotor displayed on the liquid crystal display (11) can be changed by rotating the setting button (13A). In addition, when the setting button (13A) is pressed down while the desired rotor height is displayed, the rotor height of the model planting device (2) is changed.

When the weekly setting screen (D3) is confirmed, the weekly value (Df31) (unit: cm) and the week value (Df32) (unit: week/pyeong) displayed on the liquid crystal display (11) can be changed. When the confirmation is made, the surroundings of the weekly value (Df31) are displayed in a highlighted state, and when the setting button (13A) is rotated in this state, the items whose highlighted values are alternately switched between the weekly value (Df31) and the week value (Df32). When an item is confirmed in a highlighted state, the value of the confirmed item can be changed by the rotation operation of the setting button (13A). In addition, when the desired value is confirmed in a displayed state, the operation of the model planting device (2) is changed.

When the pre-stop operation screen (D4) is confirmed, the operation of the parent planting device (2) can be operated or stopped collectively for multiple groups. For example, in the example shown in Fig. 6, the operation or stop of fertilizer spraying can be set. When the pre-stop operation screen (D4) is confirmed while the fertilizer spraying operation is in operation, the text display (Df41) of "Fertilize" is displayed in a highlighted state, and when the setting button (13A) is rotated in this state, the displayed items alternately switch between the text display (Df41) of "Fertilize" and the text display (Df42) of "Do not fertilize." When the text display (Df42) of "Do not fertilize" is confirmed while it is displayed in a highlighted state, the stop of the multiple-group fertilizer spraying operation of the parent planting device (2) is executed.

In addition, when the character display (Df41) of "soiling" is confirmed in a state where it is highlighted, the fertilizer amount/specific gravity setting screen (D4a) is displayed, and the value (Df43) of the fertilizer amount (unit: kg/unit) and the value (Df44) of the specific gravity (unit: g) displayed on the liquid crystal display (11) can be changed. When the confirmation is made, the value (Df43) of the fertilizer amount is displayed in a state where it is highlighted, and when the setting button (13A) is rotated in this state, the items whose colors are displayed alternately switch between the value (Df43) of the fertilizer amount and the value (Df44) of the specific gravity. When an item is confirmed in a state where it is highlighted, the value of the confirmed item can be changed by the rotation operation of the setting button (13A). In addition, when the desired value is confirmed in a state where it is displayed, the operation of the planting device (2) is changed.

In the planting start position adjustment screen (D5), the position at which the rice transplanting work is resumed after the rice transplanter (100) has been turned can be adjusted. When the rice transplanter (100) approaches the ridge of the paddy field (P), the rice transplanter stops the rice transplanting work, raises the rice planting device (2), and starts the turning operation. After the turning, before starting the work operation involving the rice planting work again, the rice planting device (2) is automatically lowered when it detects that it has separated from the ridge by a predetermined distance. However, there are cases where the distance from the ridge of the point at which the rice planting device (2) is automatically lowered (the planting start position) is a distance that is not intended by the user. In the planting start position adjustment screen (D5), a straight line (Df51) indicating the planting start position is displayed together with a schematic diagram indicating the ridge and the rice transplanter (100). When the planting start position adjustment screen (D5) is confirmed, a straight line (Df51) indicating the planting start position blinks and can be moved up and down by rotating the setting button (13A). Then, when the straight line (Df51) indicating the planting start position is confirmed while it is at the desired position, the change of the planting start position is executed.

In the automatic straight-line function setting screen (D6), the following are displayed: direction information (Df61), an automatic straight-line function status icon (Df62) indicating the start or stop of the automatic straight-line function, radio level information (Df63) of a positioning device (not shown), a rotation angle indicator (Df64) indicating the rotation angle of the steering (14A), and a ridge approach indication icon (Df65) that lights up when approaching a ridge is detected. When the automatic straight-line function setting screen (D6) is confirmed, the above-mentioned information (Df61 to Df65) is displayed one after another by the rotation operation of the setting button (13A), and when any information is confirmed, the details of the information can be checked. For example, when the radio level information (Df63) of the positioning device is confirmed, detailed numerical data of the radio level is displayed, and when the radio state is poor, a suggestion for improvement is presented to the operator.

When any abnormality occurs in the driving body (1) or the model planting device (2) even when any of the display screens (D1 to D6) is displayed, an error information display screen (D7) (an example of an abnormality notification screen) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11). The display of the error information display screen (D7) is displayed in preference to and in place of any of the display screens (D1 to D6) that are displayed when the abnormality occurs. By configuring it in this way, even when any of the display screens (D1 to D6) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11), it is possible to quickly notify an operator of an abnormality that has occurred.

As described above, when an error information display screen (D7) is automatically displayed on the liquid crystal display (11), if an artificial operation is performed on any operating part of the controller (13), the display screen displayed immediately before the error information display screen (D7) is displayed is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11). By configuring in this way, after the operator recognizes the notification regarding the above contents, he/she can quickly return to the work he/she was performing immediately before that.

In addition, when an artificial operation is performed on any operating section of the controller (13) while the caution alert icon (Dc7) is displayed, an error information display screen (D7) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11). By configuring in this way, the operator can select the timing for displaying the error information display screen (D7) at his/her own discretion, and when the error information display screen (D7) is desired to be displayed, it can be displayed with a simple operation. In addition, the above function for displaying the error information display screen (D7) for any artificial operation on the controller (13) may be set to be invalidated after the error information display screen (D7) is displayed at least once.

In addition, in any of the above cases, after the error information display screen (D7) is displayed at least once, the error information display screen (D7) is introduced at the end of the display order of the display screens (D1 to D6) by the rotation of the setting button (13A). That is, in a state where there is no abnormality at all, when the home display screen (D1) is displayed and the setting button (13A) is turned left, the automatic straight function setting screen (D6) is displayed, but in a state where an abnormality occurs, the error information display screen (D7) is displayed by the left turn operation.

It is desirable to determine whether to use the error information display screen (D7) or the caution icon (Dc7) to notify the operator of an abnormality based on criteria set in advance according to the severity of the abnormality that has occurred. That is, it is desirable to pre-allocate, for abnormalities that may occur, a major abnormality for which the error information display screen (D7) is displayed and a minor abnormality for which only the caution icon (Dc7) is displayed.

[Other embodiments]

Finally, other embodiments of the packaging machine according to the present invention will be described. In addition, the configuration disclosed in each of the embodiments below can also be applied in combination with the configuration disclosed in other embodiments, unless a contradiction occurs.

In the above embodiment, the packaging work machine according to the present invention is described as an example of a configuration in which the rice transplanter (100) is provided with a liquid crystal display (11) and a means for operating a display screen (D) displayed on the liquid crystal display (11). However, the configuration is not limited to such a configuration, and may be configured as a packaging work support terminal having the same function as that of the first embodiment, for example.

In the above embodiment, the packaging work machine according to the present invention has been described as an example of a configuration in which a rice transplanter (100) is provided with a seeding device (2). However, it is not limited to such a configuration, and the packaging work machine according to the present invention may be, for example, a rice transplanter provided with a sowing device, or may be a packaging work machine such as a tractor, a combine, or a riding-type cultivator. When the packaging work machine is a tractor, various packaging work devices such as a seedling device, a seedling sowing device, a multi-task device, a fertilizer spreading device, and a boom sprayer device can be installed as the packaging work device. In addition, a display screen capable of performing various settings corresponding to the work content of each packaging work machine or packaging work device may be configured so that it can be displayed on the display unit.

In the above embodiment, when an abnormality occurs in the driving body (1) or the model planting device (2), an error information display screen (D7) is displayed instead of any of the display screens (D1 to D6) displayed when the abnormality occurs, as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the abnormality notification screen may be displayed overlapping another display screen or displayed in a row with other display screens.

In the above embodiment, a configuration has been described as an example in which, when an artificial operation is performed on an operating part of the controller (13) while an error information display screen (D7) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11), the display screen that was displayed immediately before the error information display screen (D7) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (11). However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and for example, the display control unit may be configured to continuously display the abnormality notification screen on the display unit until the abnormality that caused the abnormality notification screen to be displayed is resolved, or, when a predetermined time set in advance has elapsed since the display of the abnormality notification screen on the display unit has begun, the display unit may be configured to display the display screen that was selected immediately before the display of the abnormality notification screen in place of the abnormality notification screen.

In the above embodiment, a configuration has been described as an example in which, in response to an abnormality in the driving body (1) or the parent planting device (2), at least one of an error information display screen (D7) and a caution icon (Dc7) is displayed to notify the operator of the occurrence of the abnormality. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and a configuration may be used in which a notification regarding the outline of the abnormality is displayed on the display unit so as to overlap the display screen currently being displayed. For example, in a situation in which some abnormality that makes it impossible to perform planting work has occurred, if a configuration is used in which the text “Planting is not possible” (an example of a notification regarding the outline of the abnormality) is overlapped and displayed on a part of the home display screen, the operator can be notified of the outline of the abnormality that has occurred at the same time as the information originally displayed on the home display screen. In addition, this notification regarding the outline of the abnormality may be displayed instead of another display screen, or may be displayed in series with another display screen.

In a configuration in which a notification regarding an abnormal summary is displayed on the display unit as described above, further, when an example of a notification regarding an abnormal summary is displayed and an artificial operation is performed on any operating section of the operating unit, an abnormal notification screen may be displayed on the display unit. Furthermore, the above function in which an abnormal notification screen is displayed for an artificial operation on any operating section of the operating unit may be set to be invalidated after the abnormal notification screen is displayed at least once.

In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the automatic straight-line function setting screen (D6) can be displayed on the liquid crystal display (11) of the rice transplanter (100) according to the present invention, and the rice transplanter (100) is provided with the automatic straight-line function, has been described as an example. However, the paving work machine according to the present invention may be provided with other guidance functions. For example, a work path suitable for the shape of the paving may be determined in advance, and the path may be input using a terminal such as a computer provided at the worker's home, and the input path may be transmitted to the paving work machine according to the present invention. When inputting such a path, if information such as what paving work device the paving work machine has, what shape the paving is, where the access road to the paving is, where the reference plane is, what the driving order of the driving lines divided into multiple parts is, and where the driving line on which each clutch should be used is input, the worker can be effectively guided during the work at the paving site.

In addition, as another example of the guidance function, all driving lines in the packaging, from entering the packaging, performing work, to exiting the packaging, may be stored in a memory provided to the packaging work machine. With this configuration, in the next and subsequent work in the same packaging, the worker can be guided based on the driving line, or the steering can be automatically performed so as to drive along the same driving line.

In addition, an embodiment of a packaging work machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. In this embodiment, a case in which the packaging work machine according to the present invention is a rice transplanter (1100) that performs rice seedling transplanting work in a field will be described as an example. In addition, the packaging work machine according to the present invention is not limited to a rice transplanter, and may be, for example, a tractor, a combine, a riding-type management machine, etc.

[Basic configuration of rice transplanter (1100)]

Below, the basic configuration of a rice transplanter (1100) according to the present embodiment will be described (Fig. 7). The rice transplanter (1100) is equipped with a driving body (1001), a seedling planting device (1002) as a packaging work device, a fertilization device (1003) (an example of a powder supply device), and a control unit (1004).

A driving machine (1001) is provided with an engine (1011), wheels (1012) including a pair of front wheels (1012a) and rear wheels (1012b) on the left and right, and a driver's seat (1013) on which an operator can sit and perform various driving operations. In front of the driver's seat (1013), a meter panel (1014) including a monitor (1014a) (an example of a display section) and an operating section (1015) are installed. In addition, the driving machine (1001) has a main transmission device (1016), an auxiliary transmission device (1017), a main transmission device (1018), and a plant clutch (1019). In addition, in the following description, with respect to a worker seated on the driver's seat (1013), the front direction of the worker is defined as "front", the back direction of the worker is defined as "rear", the right side of the worker is defined as "right direction", and the left side of the worker is defined as "left direction".

As shown in Fig. 8, the power of the engine (1011) is divided into the first power and the second power after being shifted by the main transmission device (1016). The first power is further divided into the driving power transmitted to the wheel (1012) and the gearing power transmitted to the gearing device (1003) after being shifted by the auxiliary transmission device (1017). Meanwhile, the second power is transmitted to the main gearing device (1002) through the main transmission device (1018) and the gearing clutch (1019).

Here, the main transmission device (1016) is a hydraulic continuously variable transmission device, and is configured to be capable of steplessly shifting to a neutral position, forward direction, and backward direction by a main transmission lever (1015a) installed on an operating unit (1015). Meanwhile, the auxiliary transmission device (1017) is a gear shift type transmission device, and is configured to be capable of shifting to a neutral position, a driving speed position, and a working speed position by a sub-shift lever (1015b) installed on an operating unit (1015).

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the seedling planting device (1002) has a seedling planting unit (1021) for planting seedlings on a package, and a seedling loading platform (1022) for loading seedlings to be planted on the package by the seedling planting unit (1021), and is connected to a driving body (1001) via a lifting hydraulic cylinder (1023) and a link mechanism (1024) for performing an elevating operation of the seedling planting device (1002). The seedling loading platform (1022) is driven by second power transmitted from an engine (1011) via a main gear (1016), and is capable of reciprocating lateral transport in the left and right directions and of transporting paper in the up and down directions. In addition, the seedling planting unit (1021) operates in conjunction with the reciprocating lateral transport operation of the seedling loading platform (1022), and plants seedlings on the package. The mother planting device (1002) is configured to rise when the hydraulic cylinder for raising (1023) is contracted, and to descend toward the pavement surface when the hydraulic cylinder for raising (1023) is extended. When the mother planting device (1002) is in the highest position, the link mechanism (1024) assumes a horizontal position. In addition, when the mother planting device (1002) is lowered so that the float (1021a) of the mother planting device (1021) assumes a position in which it comes into contact with the pavement surface, the mother planting work can be performed.

In the seedling planting work by the seedling planting device (1002), the seedlings to be planted in the package are planted in units of "stocks" which are a plurality of seedlings bundled together. The amount of seedlings (the amount of seedlings taken) included in one stock is controlled by the driving width of the reciprocating lateral transport drive and the paper transport drive of the seedling loading platform (1022). In addition, in the seedling planting work by the seedling planting device (1002), the interval between the stocks to be planted in the package (the distance between stocks) is controlled by the inter-stock transmission device (1018). In addition, in the seedling planting work by the seedling planting device (1002), the planting depth of the seedlings (stocks) to be planted in the package is controlled by the height at which the seedling planting device (1002) is maintained. The height is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the hydraulic cylinder (1023) for lifting. These controls are performed by a signal transmitted by the control unit (1004) or by human operation by a worker.

As illustrated in Fig. 7, the fertilizer application device (1003) has a fertilizer hopper (1031) for storing granular fertilizer (an example of granular agricultural materials), a discharge unit (1032) for discharging fertilizer from the fertilizer hopper (1031), a blower (1033) for blowing air to return the fertilizer released from the discharge unit (1032), a hose (1034) that serves as a path for supplying fertilizer to the pavement surface from the discharge unit (1032), and a discharge amount adjustment mechanism (not illustrated). Fertilization power branched from the first power source is input to the discharge unit (1032) after being changed by the discharge amount adjustment mechanism, and drives the discharge unit (1032). Control of the amount of fertilizer supplied to the packaging, i.e., the amount of fertilizer applied, is performed by controlling the amount adjustment mechanism by a signal sent from the control unit (1004) or by artificial operation by the worker.

[Control system of rice transplanter (1100)]

As illustrated in Fig. 9, the control unit (1004) has a driving unit control unit (1041) that controls the driving unit (1001), a parent planting unit control unit (1042) that controls the parent planting unit (1002), and a fertilization unit control unit (1043) that controls the fertilization unit (1003). Each of the sub-control units (1041 to 1043) acquires information about the corresponding control targets (1 to 3), and issues signals for controlling the corresponding control targets (1 to 3), respectively. In addition, the control unit (1004) has a display control unit (1044) that controls the contents of the screen display displayed on the monitor (1014a), a calculation unit (1045) that performs various calculations related to control, an abnormality detection unit (1046) that detects abnormalities related to each part of the rice transplanter (1100), and a setting unit (1047) that controls various settings related to each part of the rice transplanter (1100).

The driving body control unit (1041) acquires rotational speed information regarding the rotational speed of the wheel (1012). The calculation unit (1045) calculates the driving distance information of the driving body (1001) based on the information regarding the circumference of the wheel (1012) stored in advance in the driving body control unit (1041) and the acquired rotational speed information.

The mother planting device control unit (1042) receives inputs of set values for the simulated planting state desired by the operator, i.e., the weekly distance, planting depth, and seeding amount, through the operating unit (1015). Then, the mother planting device control unit (1042) issues a signal for controlling the mother planting device (1002) based on the input set values. In addition, the display control unit (1044) displays a home screen (1D1) that summarizes these set values on the monitor (1014a) (Fig. 10).

The fertilization device control unit (1043) receives input of a set value of the fertilization amount desired by the operator through the operating unit (1015). Then, the fertilization device control unit (1043) issues a signal for controlling the fertilization device (1003) based on the input set value. In addition, the display control unit (1044) displays the set value on the monitor (1014a).

In addition, the seedling unit control unit (1042) acquires working width information regarding the working width of the seedling unit (1002). In addition, while the work by the rice transplanter (1100) is being performed, it acquires seedling remaining amount information (an example of material amount information) regarding the remaining amount of seedlings loaded in the seedling loading platform (1022). Similarly, the fertilization device control unit (1043) acquires fertilizer remaining amount information (an example of material amount information) regarding the remaining amount of fertilizer stored in the fertilizer hopper (1031) while the work is being performed. In addition, a known sensor (not shown) necessary for acquiring material amount information is installed in the seedling loading platform (1022) and the fertilizer hopper (1031).

The calculation unit (1045) calculates the work completion area information regarding the area of the work completion area where the work has already been performed based on the travel distance information of the driving body (1001) and the work width information of the seedling planting device (1002). In addition, the calculation unit (1045) calculates the amount per unit area of the seedlings planted for the work completion area (an example of the supply completion material amount information) and the amount per unit area of the fertilizer supplied for the work completion area (an example of the supply completion material amount information) based on the calculated work completion area information and the trend of the seedling remaining amount information and the fertilizer remaining amount information. The display control unit (1044) displays the thus calculated work completion area information and the supply completion material amount information on the monitor (1014a) as an area meter information display screen (1D4) (Fig. 10).

The abnormality detection unit (1046) monitors the driving body (1001), the seeding unit (1002), and the fertilization unit (1003). When the abnormality detection unit (1046) detects an abnormality in any of the monitoring targets (1 to 3), the display control unit (1044) displays an abnormality notification screen (1D7) informing of the content of the abnormality on the monitor (1014a). At this time, regardless of the display screen displayed on the monitor (1014a), the abnormality notification screen is displayed in place of the display screen. As an example, when it is detected that the fertilizer is full in the feeding unit (1032), the phrase “Fertilizer is full” is displayed on the monitor (1014a). As another example, when it is detected that the amount of seedlings loaded on the mother loading unit (1022) falls below a predetermined standard value, the phrase “Please supply seedlings” is displayed on the monitor (1014a).

The display of the abnormal notification screen on the monitor (1014a) by the display control unit (1044) is automatically stopped when the abnormality that caused the display of the abnormal notification screen is resolved. For example, in the case of the example described above, when the fertilizer that was full in the discharge unit (1032) was removed, the display of the phrase “Fertilizer is full” on the monitor (1014a) is stopped.

In addition, the abnormality detection unit (1046) determines whether the detected abnormality is a moderate abnormality that must be dealt with by stopping the ongoing work, or a mild abnormality that does not require stopping the work. For example, when the fertilizer discharge unit (1032) is full, if this is left as is and work is continued, work will proceed without fertilization, so the abnormality detection unit (1046) determines this to be a moderate abnormality. At this time, the display control unit (1044) displays a warning screen (1D7a) on the monitor (1014a) (Fig. 10). On the other hand, when the amount of seedlings loaded on the seedling loading unit (1022) falls below a predetermined reference value, work can be continued until the seedlings are completely gone, so the abnormality detection unit (1046) determines this to be a mild abnormality. At this time, the display control unit (1044) displays a notification screen (1D7b) on the monitor (1014a) (Fig. 10).

In addition, when the abnormality is a moderate abnormality, the display of the warning screen (1D7a) cannot be stopped at any time except when the abnormality is resolved. On the other hand, when the abnormality is a mild abnormality, the display of the notification screen (1D7b) can be temporarily stopped by a human operation via the operating unit (1015). In this way, by taking different actions depending on the severity of the abnormality, the severity of the abnormality can be effectively conveyed to the operator.

When the setting unit (1047) is started, the display control unit (1044) displays a setting change screen (1D6) that displays items whose settings can be changed in the setting unit (1047) on the monitor (1014a) (Fig. 10). Then, the settings of each item can be changed by manual manipulation via the operating unit (1015). Such items include, for example, a setting related to a planting start position, which is a position where the seedling planting work is automatically resumed after turning near the ridge, a setting related to the brightness of the monitor (1014a), a setting related to the sensitivity for determining that the discharge unit (1032) is blocked, a setting related to the sensitivity of a sensor for detecting the remaining amount of fertilizer stored in the fertilizer hopper (1031), and a setting related to the rotation speed of the discharge unit (1032). In the setting change screen (1D6), items whose settings can be changed are not frequently changed, so they are not displayed during normal work, but can be displayed all at once on the monitor (1014a) when necessary.

In addition, the display control unit (1044) can display each display screen of the end-driving support function setting screen (1D2), the automatic straight-line function setting screen (1D3), and the Monroe setting screen (1D5) on the monitor (1014a) in response to an artificial operation through the operating unit (1015).

However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and the packaging work machine may be provided with any one of a seedling planting device, a granular material supply device, and a liquid supply device as the packaging work device, or may be provided with a plurality of these packaging work devices. Furthermore, the packaging work machine according to the present invention is not limited to a rice transplanter, and may be a packaging work machine such as a tractor, a combine, or a riding-type cultivator. When the packaging work machine is a tractor, various packaging work devices such as a seedling seeding device, a seedling sowing device, a multi-task device, a fertilizer spreading device, and a boom sprayer device can be installed as the packaging work device.

Among the other embodiments disclosed in the previous paragraph, in an embodiment having a liquid supply device, the liquid agricultural material supplied to the package by the liquid supply device is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a liquid fertilizer, a liquid herbicide, or the like.

In the above embodiment, the packaging machine according to the present invention has been described as an example of a configuration in which a fertilizer application device (1003) is provided as a powder supply device. However, the powder supply device provided to the packaging machine according to the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and may be, for example, a seeding device (an example of a powder supply device) for sowing rice seeds (an example of a powdery agricultural material) in a field, or a chemical spraying device (an example of a powdery agricultural material) for spraying herbicide (an example of a powdery agricultural material) in a field. In addition, the packaging machine according to the present invention is not limited to a configuration in which only one powder supply device is provided, and may be, for example, a packaging machine provided with a seeding device, a fertilizer application device, and at least one of a chemical spraying device.

In the above embodiment, when displaying an abnormality notification screen (1D7) on a monitor (1014a), a configuration in which the abnormality notification screen (1D7) is displayed in place of any display screen displayed on the monitor (1014a) has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and when displaying an abnormality notification screen, it may be displayed by overlapping the display screen or by being displayed in a row with the display screen.

As for other configurations, it should be understood that the embodiments disclosed in this specification are examples in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by them.
